Dynamic question import and substring matching | XM Community
Skip to main content
Hello Qualtrics Community,
 
I'm new to qualtrics and I'm working on building a survey. However, I'm not sure if what I am wanting to do is possible.
 
The first thing is that I'm trying to dynamically display images and image/question-specific metadata. From a .csv containing 1000+ questions and their labels, I want to create questions directly from the .csv and essentially import the corresponding image, image metadata, and other related information (rather than doing it by hand). Alternatively, I was wondering if it is possible to create all 1000+ questions programmatically and then deploy static questions in a random order in the survey.
 
The second thing is dynamic typing into a field. I have ~4000 possible answer choices and dropdowns/multiple choice would be too cumbersome. Some of these answer choices are synonymous with one another so it would ideal that they would retain that synonymy behind the scenes. Essentially when a user begins to type in their answer to the question, a list of answer choices will appear based on what they type (i.e. substring matching). Ideally the users must pick from the choices that appear instead of sending in a free-form written response to the question.
 
Thank you!

Not too sure about the first portion.

For the second portion, if you are working through the questions manually, you could potentially use select2 for the typing to search for a choice.

Thanks to Tom_1842 for his qsf examples on this thread.


@Myn ​@Chee Heng_SZ ,

We’ve developed Pirai AI to eliminate the manual effort involved in survey scripting. 

Please upload your Word/PDF/Text/Image survey specification here: https://piraiai.com/convert-now

Once uploaded, we’ll convert it and send you the Qualtrics-compatible survey file (QSF or Advanced version) shortly.
